Restricting Message Size between Domains

You can configure the MTA to restrict the size of messages that users are permitted to send outside the domain.

  1. In ConsoleOne, click Tools > GroupWise Utilities > Link Configuration.


    Link Configuration Tool window

  2. Double-click the domain where you want to restrict message size.


    Edit Domain Link dialog box

  3. In the Maximum Send Message Size field, specify in megabytes the size of the largest message you want users to be able to send outside the post office.

  4. If you want to delay large messages, specify the size in megabytes for message files the MTA can process immediately in the Delay Message Size field.

    If a message file exceeds the delay message size, the message file is moved into the low priority (6) message queue, where only one MTA thread is allocated to process very large messages. This arrangement allows typical messages to be processed promptly, while delaying large messages that exceed the specified size. The result is that large messages do not slow down processing of typical messages.

  5. Click OK.

  6. To exit the Link Configuration Tool and save your changes, click File > Exit, then click Yes.

    ConsoleOne then notifies the MTA to restart using the new message size limits.
